Anyone here from New Zealand who have had their interviews at the US consulate-general in Auckland? 

 

I want to know how soon after NVC deemed your case complete or documentarily qualified before you got your appointment date?

Another Kiwi!  I'm in New Plymouth, where are you?   I'm in the same situation. Case complete at NVC, awaiting interview appointment. I'm interested to hear how long it took others as well.

IR-1 visa. (Spouse of a US Citizen)

 

My case complete was 1 Feb. Got the email a few days later (8th feb) We got the same message "in the queue waiting for an appointment"

 

From what I have read, the NVC schedules appointments at the end of the month, so hopefully there might be some progress end of feb.

Nothing yet. I'm so anxious to hear from them. I've been putting everything in my life on hold because of the interview.

Same, we have just finished renovating our house and are waiting for the interview before we put it up for sale. 

 

I'm treading water at work as well, just wanting to jump on a plane and go!

Yes!!! You too!

 

I just tried booking my medical and they asked if I already got all the forms.

 

Did you get any medical forms from NVC or the consulate?

You have to get the forms online. Its in a PDF of instructions. The last page is a medical form that you take to the appointment (along with the interview letter, your passport, vaccination records and some passport photos)

 

See attached.

 

Ive emailed Remuera Medical to make an appointment, awaiting a response.
